78: Chapter 76: Lifesaver 78: Chapter 76: Lifesaver Qin Ye’s house was being built with much fanfare because of that tractorload of bricks, so the entire Qin Family’s Team was abuzz.
The poorest of them all, Qin Ye’s family, had actually spent a significant amount of money on bricks this time.
They were going to build a brick and tile house!
That would truly be unique in their village.
Of course, everyone didn’t think Qin Ye was rich, but rather Rong Yan was rich.
Many families with eligible bachelors were wringing their hands in regret.
Rong Zhiqing was a golden nugget, and back then they should have done whatever it took to marry her.
Somehow, Qin Ye managed to marry a woman who brought with her three losses, and she turned out to be a little lucky star.
Look, they’ve got meat to eat now, a bicycle to ride, and even a new house being built.
Rong Yan didn’t care what these people were thinking; nowadays, she went to the black market in town every day to sell goods.
After all, she needed money.
That day, after she had finished selling a batch of goods at the black market, she reverted to her original appearance, planning to go to the state-run restaurant to eat.
Before she even stepped in, a voice full of surprise called out from behind her, “Comrade, wait a moment…”
Rong Yan turned around and saw it was a woman with a face full of surprise, a familiar person—it was the woman she had saved from the fire that day.
Though it had only been a few days since they saw each other, the spirit of the woman before her was completely different.
“Comrade, I have finally found you,” Sun Mei ran up to Rong Yan, quite agitated.
“What do you want with me?” With just one glance, Rong Yan knew this person no longer had the despair of that day, she seemed…
Therefore, her tone of voice softened a little.
“Comrade, thanks to you that day, you saved the lives of both me and my daughter.
If it hadn’t been for you, I’m afraid we would have…” Sun Mei hardly dared to imagine the events of that day.
“And it’s thanks to you that I came to my senses, divorced that man, and got custody of my daughter.
We’re doing very well now, and I’ve always wanted to find you to express my gratitude, but I didn’t even know your name.
I’ve been wandering these streets whenever I had the time…
I didn’t expect I’d actually run into you, comrade, you’re the savior of me and my daughter…”
As she spoke, Sun Mei tried to kneel before Rong Yan.
Fortunately, Rong Yan was quick to react, promptly supporting the woman who was about to kneel.
“Don’t do this, do you want me to be drowned in other people’s spit?”
The latter half of this sentence was rather harsh, but it couldn’t be helped—if she didn’t speak sternly, the woman in front of her would probably kneel down regardless.
Sure enough, after Rong Yan spoke sharply, Sun Mei no longer had the intention of kneeling and immediately stood up straight, “I’m sorry…
I didn’t think it through.”
Rong Yan saw she seemed to have more to say, so she pointed to the side, “Let’s talk over there.”
“Oh, okay,” Sun Mei was clearly very happy.
She and Rong Yan walked together to a corner.
“It’s , my daughter has been thinking of you.
Could you please come to visit her?” Ever since that day, her daughter seemed to have become even more afraid of strangers.
But as soon as she mentioned the person who saved her life that day, her daughter’s eyes would light up.
She had simply saved the woman in passing that day; did this really necessitate a follow-up?
If it’s not convenient, then forget it.
But I must repay your life-saving grace, comrade.
Just wait here for me, I’ll go home and get something.”
“There’s no need.” Rong Yan’s refusal was futile as Sun Mei had already taken off running, occasionally glancing back, “Comrade, don’t leave, please don’t go…”
